Progressive Video Slots
What is a progressive game? Well, progressive games are games that are connected together through a network and everytime someone deposits in to a game in that network then a small percentage of that deposit is placed in to a separate account known as the progressive jackpot.
These games can be found in most online casinos and come in a variety of games including, table and card games, arcade games, video pokers and slots. Most progressives will be found in the slot machine section of the casino.
The casino will put a certain amount of cash in to the jackpot to start the game then anyone who plays the games add to it. The totals of the jackpot can reach millions depending on when the jackpot gets won. To win the jackpot you need to wager the maximum bet but you can still win a good lump of the jackpot even if you wager less than the maximum bet.
If you want to get a piece of the pie then all you need to do is sign-up to an online casino and you can start to get in on the action. If you've never played in an online casino then it is very important that you read all the rules, terms and conditions of the casino.
When you sign-up to a casino you will normally recieve a welcome bonus on your first deposit. Some casino offer bonuses on your 2nd and sometime 3rd deposit as a further incentive to join the casino. If you are wanting to play on progressive games then you will need to read all the house rules.
Most casinos will not let you play any progressive games with any bonuses, including the welcome bonus. It is not wise to try and trick the casino either as they know if you play illegal games with bonuses. What would be worse than winning a $5m progressive jackpot to discover that you broke the rules and your winnings are null and void. It happens alot so don't let it happen to you. You have been warned!
Bonus Video Slots
Bonus slots come in many varieties but they all have one thing in common; an extra chance of winning more cash!
Usually these slots games are in the form of video slots which also give you free spins, extra spins and multipliers but it is the bonus rounds where you can beef up your cashpot.
A brief introduction to Bonus Slots
As we said, bonus slots are mainly video slots which can be anything from 3 reels and 9 lines up to 5 reels and 50 lines. This already gives you extra winning chances than regular casino slots.
With the bonus slots you can have various symbols that when appear in a certain order as stated by the game gives you one of three things; free spins, multipliers or a bonus round.
As with the Captain America slot at InterCasino when you get a winning combination of 3 bonus round symbols you are taken to the bonus round where you have a skill task to complete inorder to win extra cash or free games.
In this particular slot game bonus round you have to move the sight over the oncoming planes to knock them out of the sky. Hit 5 planes to win cash or free games. The more you have wagered the higher the prizes.
The second slot game above is the kind of slot machine you would expect to find in an English pub. It has the same look and feel thanks to the reel Holds and Nudges offered in the game.
The Gee Gees is one of my favorite slots machines and can be found in most Microgaming casinos like Platinum Play. The Gee Gees is a take on the great 70s Disco group, The Bee Gees, done in an equestrian fashion.
There are nudges, feature holds and random feature skill tests that can help you in to the bonus round of the game. Once in to the bonus round you will see a disco dance floor with a John Travolta looking steed. Spin the reel and move around the dance floor like a Disco Love God picking up cash amounts, nudges and features.
The feature names are cleaver too; Night Diva, Hot To Trot and Reel Like Dancing are just some of the features in the bonus round. Be careful not to get too greedy as you could land on the question mark and end up with nothing for your troubles.
